L 0 IV 11 0 A , SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER •29, 1810. The two line of battle ships and a . frigate that have so,long been blockaded in Cherbourgh put to sea in the morning of the 27th, at a moment when our two blockading ships, the Donegal and Reveng were a few miles to the northward of the port . . They were, however, observed by the CyaneoridThracion, which continued to watch them at noon on the same day off "Cape La, Hogue, standing down Channel. Yesterday' information was communicated by tele graph to the Admiralty, and dire&ioni immediately - sent- by the same conveyance to Plymouth to push out three sail of the line to. endeavour to intercept them. From the state of the weather it is _next to impossible they could make good their pas ' sage down Channel, and as the Donegal knd Revenge were in all probability to leeward of the Port, and the. Hero and . Mars dispatched in stantly from Shithead off the •port to prevent their return, they. must , have extraordinary good luck if they escape. ' The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER came to town this day from Ealing, on account of the trans actious which occasioned the unfortunate end Of Mr. GoLDsmif), Two of the partners of the un loppy putleman attended at the Treasury this morning, for the purpose of assisting in the elucida tion of theaffairs which led to the melancholy event. this being a Holiday, no business was transaEed at the Stock Exchange; some private bargains for Stock were, however, we understand, et 'high& prices than those of yeSterday. It was rumoured that a banking house of considerable eminence had stopped payment, bpt we have not been able to ascertain the faa. We this morning received the following Letter ruin Oporto, dated Sept. a MASSENA has been obliged to send some of his forces to Navarre, Biscay, and Arragon, in which provinces the people are in open arms. ROMANA has four regiments,of Portuguese cavalry with him, which are commanded by Brigadier-Gen. MADDEN. A part of our army has again fallen .back to occupy their old quarters at Torozello, four leagues from the Punta de Murcilla. LordWELLINGTON'S bead quqrters were, on the 3 tst ult. •at Celerico; Mar shal BEREfforas 'at Lageosa., Five or six British Officers were made prisoners at Almeida. We are inforintli here, that the accident at Almeida happened in the following manner :—A train of powder communicatedirom one of the small magazines to the large one, upon which some sparks f 5 ll from a match or candle_; the small one blew up a tew moments before.the larger, ,and prevented the explosion of the latter being heerd. The can rionatle was tremendous on both sides: About 900 ,persons were killed, and 400 wounded, by the ac cident. Out of 400 artillery men, 25 only escaped. IVIAssENA proposed to exchange the regulars, but the Marquis LORNA (r Portuguese General in the French service) would not agree to this, but. wished them to join ,the French, which they refused. All the mireiti were sent to their homes, with the ex ception of 18 men from each company, which are detained to repair the fortifications. " The peasants, near Feixas, 'have taken a Lieu.' tenant 7 Colunel, one Lieutenant, and 42 men, of the Gen d'Armes. The British troops have been aaive ly employcd in destroying the torn-mills on the Coa, It is generally thought that ere long a battle must ine% hably 'take place. The French rob, plun der, and murder, wherever-they make their appear- ance. The men of the 24th Portuguese regiment, on the 2gth ult. entered the French service; and on 'the 4th inst. nearly the whole had deserted and joined at head-quarters. " A division of 6000 militia, under Gen. Mu " LER, is at Chaves; SILVEIR A icon the upper banks of the Douro, and Gen. TRANI'. in the neighbourhood of St. J. de Pasqueira, so that if the French get 'near Vizeu, they will be, flanked by the militia, who are very good troops. "_Ttte French now have the whole of their force in the vicinity of including ItE9NtEit's and JoNofs divisions; it is - estimated at about 93;000 men. The latter is with IVIsssENA, who can .bring 69,000 troops into the field : should be advance against Lord WELLINGTON, his, Lordship will, no doubt, retire to the Punta de Murcella. We every hour expect to hear of this flaying taken place. " It is satd that 8000 troops Irons France have entered Navarre. " During the last four months JUNOT'S division has experienced a loss of upwards of ten thousand men, by desertion, -sicknesi, and the swoid. " About 3500 troops have been sent from Sal.-t, manca to the Asturians. " We have just learned that on the 6th bur ad vanced posts were at Franco.a, and Lord Wzo.ING TON near Vizeu. • The KING, accompanied by Princesses AUGUSTA and SOPHIA, attended by Lady ELY, General FITZ ROY, and 'Colono TAYLOR, rude on horseback in Windsor Paik on Thursday morning. - • Dr..PoPe went fiom his litise at Staines, on Thursday, to attend the Princess AAIRLIA at Wind sor, who, we are sorry to say, has hod so much of t relapse, as to recoire the Doaor's constant attend ance, as well as the Physicians from London occa sionally. The Royal Family at Windsor daily visit her Royal Highness. A Gentleman who quitted Holland on Monday, describes the situation of the merchants there as most calamitous. A Decree Lis been published by BUONAPARTE, assigning one-fifth of any commercial property concealed, to the Informer wha•shall dis cover it, an 4 one-tenth to the R,venue Officers con cerned in the seizure of it. The consequence that servants in the closest connexion with the pro prietors bad turned Informers, and a large quantity of effees that had been buried was brought to light. Lieutenant-Colonel LEITH 'has arrived in to - wn, charged with dispatches of great importance from the',Governor-General of India. He came passenger • in the William Pitt, extra ship, which left Madras on the Bth of May, when every thing was in a state of the greatest traequirity. •Lord MINTO was pre paring to return to Bengal.. An Expedition had been tined out for the Isle • Bourbon, of the suc cess of which no doubt was entertained. • The detachment under Colonel CLOSE had re turned •to cantouments, and • the , general state of Hindustan was perfealy satisfaaory. By letters received from the ffilltam Pill, last ar rived from Madras, we learn, that Colonel Close, who bad purstiedMeer Khan beyond the Neerbud dab, was returning with his army to his former station, being unable to come up will) ti.e fugitive Chieftain, who, though • now deserted by almost the whole of his followers, would easily find mean's to coiled them again upon a favourable opportu nity.—Before Colonel Close's army had crossed the Neerbudnah, t woregirnents.of native cavalry, which composed part of the expedition, intended to de-*- mand an increase of pay. . But : Colonel - Close, hav ing teceived intimation of the design the morning before the.river was to be . forded, ordered some or tancrements to be made, which.plaeed the native ca valry between the Europeans, and in front ot, the 'artillery ; and then gave his order s for the, cavalry to cross the river, The cavalry bcing thus placed ih a situation so entirely commanded, went forward iri - obedience to the orders 'of their Commanders,' ith out preferring their intended demand. It it, how ever,' believed, that Colonel Close had found it ex pedient ultimately to grant, an increase of one rupee per mouth, and a seer of rice per day. The miter tonate system of appealing to the, natives against the European Officers, has necessarily giVen thein a high idea of their own strength and importance, and has laid the foundation of many extravagant pretensions not yet putforib. The following case is said to have occurred in the British camp in the course of the expedition in • pursuit of Meer Khan. A Lieute nant• Davidson had placed 'a Subandar native officer whose rank corresponds with that of Captain) under arrest. • The Subandar, while a p:iioner, fol lowed the example of Captain Quarter-Master-Ge neral Munro . in the proceedings which led to the late general disturbances, appealed to Colonel Close, and preferred, being still a prisoner, a complaint against Mr. Davidson, alleging that he had Made use of the Company's grain to teed, his (Davidson's) •horse. The Subandar was released from his arrest; Mr. Davidson was brought to a•Court-Martial, and• suspended. for three months. The result of this trial had produced great discontent among the Eu ropean.-officers, and rendered Colonel Close very unpopular with them, from the supposition of his lending himself to the system of degrading the'Eu rope= Officers, and raising the natives to level with thern, or rather, to a superiority over them.— Several Officers of high rank and charatter bad re signed their appointments, in consequence of re flections cast on them by those in authority. Among. those, we understand, is Captain Sydenhani; . . late . resident at Hydetabad, who has taken offence at an, allusion made to him in the general orders, publish ed by General Gowctie and Lord Mint°, on the ac quit'tal of Colonel Doreton, " in the most horiuur able. manner." Mr. Munro PARKE:-.--We . have been favoured with the following copy of a letter to Lord MOIRA, upon the pleasing subject of the• safety of tire above enterprising traveller :—.

The Idas armed cutter arrived auDcal on Thriri. day froin our fleet off Flushing. She brought with her a Prussian Captain and a French Gentleman, whom she picked up at sea on Tuesday in an open boat, in which they had effeeted their escape. They report, " that the fleet .in Flushing is now .com pletely equipped and ready for sea, excepting a de ficiency of bailors.. None of the men of war have more than a hundred 'seamen, so that were there no thing else to deter them, it is hardly possible that they can Venture to put to sea. The deficiency of the crews is supplied by soldiers, but probably with a view to defence more than any thing else. Gem exenions and incessant labour have - been bestowed by the enemy to repair the works in the Island of Waleheren, which is now in a good slate o f defence, to repel any new attempt that may be made against it by this country. They, are, not howevei, free from apprehensions for their safely, Laie of a s.rri ous attack. .
